4.0 out of 5 stars Underrated, January 18, 2005

By 

John N. McAndrews "madhatter762" (B-More) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Law & Order (Audio CD)

I'm not gonna tell you that this guy is the second coming of christ, cuz thats what most reviewers do (or tell you that he is straight @$$).

I will say that its crazy that people sleep on Bossman so much. Here in baltimore, he sold 20,000 on the street alone. think about that: no promos, just concerts and cds, and 20,000 people buy your cd. in other words, just about everybody in baltimore knows that bossman is nice, even if they dont have his cd, but nobody outside the city limits has ever heard of him.

well, i can say this much about him. being in baltimore, halfway between north and south, his music sounds like its part northern (with the new york sounding piano and violin samples) and part southern (the bass kicks, the fast ticking drum machines, the mild twang in the voice we have here in baltimore).

lyrically, bossman is totally on point. in terms of complexity, flow, he's at least as good as 80% of the rappers who are getting famous now adays. In terms of realness, hes just to real. He raps about everything, literally. He goes from rapping about relationships with his friends and family, to how people die because of beef, to how he hates how people forget that R. Kelly molested little girls.

The brightest moments on the album are "Off the Record," several minutes of real deep thought, from politics (talks about bush and bill clinton, vote scam in florida in 2000, and the potential for a draft), to life, to death. Great beat.

"Crazy" is also a great cut, with a great beat and solid lyrics. This one is especially introspective; it talks about how he tries to stay away from violence because he needs to be alive and well in order to support his family.

"The Last Dance" is also a great song, with a nice piano beat and the darkest lyrics on the album. the song features two other underground b-more emcees, and all three rhyme about potential situations of death. each rapper has one verse telling a story about their last few hours on earth. the three die by, a- shooting at cops as they try to arrest him, and he dies in the process, b- allowing drug usage to get out of hand and dying under the influence of cocaine and heroin, and c- being set up by a girl and shot in the back.

All in all, the album is very listenable. If you come to b-more and turn on the radio, you might hear "I did it," the single off the album with a good beat and positive lyrics about how people strive to support themselves. As far as baltimore is concerned, this guy gets about as much airplay as Kanye West and 50 cent, but like i said, he is unheard of in the rest of the world. Do this man a favor and check him out. STOP SLEEPING ON BOSSMAN.

5.0 out of 5 stars OFF THE HOOK !! - OFF THE RECORD, June 23, 2005

By 

Empowered Democrat "Pianoman" (North VA / DC) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Law & Order (Audio CD)

Let me start by saying that as producer/songwriter/pianist myself out of DC I listened the album first from a musical standpoint, then a production standpoint and then lyrical content lastly.

Track # 6 "Off The Record" I first heard this joint when driving through Baltimore...couldn't find it DC anywhere. Tracked it down via the internet and bam...this dude's website had the whole thang bangin... This is a hypnotic track...positive & uplifting but at the same time grimmy & gutter. I got the thang on repeat on my system. HOTTEST JOINT ON THE CD!! AN INSTANT CLASSIC IN MY OPINION!

Track # 7 "Oh" (B-More-Anthem). This joint is pumping! The hook will have you bobbing I don't where you at. Hell I aint from B-more!! CLUB BANGA, CLUB BANGA!!!

This cat has got serious potential.

This CD was a best buy...copped it from Best Buy.

Your heard from me...Pianoman (VA/DC)..

5.0 out of 5 stars What the Game's Been Missin, August 9, 2006

By 

J*ROC - See all my reviews

This review is from: Law & Order (Audio CD)

I never heard of this cat till about a month ago. He had a track named "Homicide" on a mixtape that i had copped, which is actually a diss record aimed at some poor soul he ripped to pieces. This guy's flow is of the chain. He switch styles with perfection, and just rips apart every last beat given on this album. Even more impressive is that this album is not on a major label, with no heavy producers nor any high profiled featured artist, and his still one of the most bangin albums i heard in a hot minute. He is currently signed under Virgin Records and is still awaiting his major label release of the same title. Whether telling a story or just spittin' hard at the mic, Bossman is just lyrically sick with it. Ain't no doubt that this cat is goin' to be huge.
